A progression observed this season on the many social media networks (12 in total) where AS Monaco is present, including Whatsapp (410,000 followers) and Threads (193,000) where the Club made its debut in 2024. This choice reflects the Club’s desire to appeal to a young and connected audience, with a tone and content adapted to each platform.

In detail, AS Monaco’s main communities are on Facebook (10.7 million followers), TikTok (5.7M), Sina Weibo (2.9M), X (2.5M) and Instagram (2.2M).

Growth peaks in Europe, Japan and the United States

On the international stage, while the Principality’s club remains very present in China, where it is followed by over 3 million followers on its Sina Weibo and Douyin accounts, the Rouge & Blanc are recording their strongest growth peaks in Europe, Japan and the United States.

These results validate a targeted digital strategy to develop in markets with high potential for the club, and accompany the presence in the squad of players such as Folarin Balogun and Takumi Minamino, whose audience and interest spill over to those of the Club, as illustrated by the visit of Japanese media and content creators in March.
